Comment (by krstic):

 Replying to [comment:7 jg]:
 > For example, a trivial helper program to set a TamTam process's priority
 is easy to audit, and a simple short term solution.  As it is, this could
 have easily been dealt with several weeks ago, in some form or another.

 A simple short-term solution is running the program as root; this is not
 at stake. What was at stake is finding a long-term solution, and having
 that be 'run it as root' doesn't just fill me with concern -- it's
 outright not an option, unless you wish to undo the rest of the security
 on the machine. Chris chose to use the word 'veto' for this, and that's
 reasonably accurate.
